I'm sure the guy's insurance company would love to have that video!

No Verizon coverage, but Nextel coverage? Amazing. My wife's company has 
to cover that area and when they had Nextel they never had coverage up 
there, they all had to carry AT&T or Verizon phones. Sometimes they had 
to call the resident to open a gate or call off a dog, and Nextel had no 
coverage.

One thing I've found is that my smart phone with no external antenna 
will have no signal, while my old dumb phone with an external antenna 
(which I've kept activated at $2.50/month) will get enough of a signal 
to make a call. Just experienced that last Sunday again down in Muir Woods.
